I feel confident that Michael Cohen is quite busy. He talks to the president frequently. AS such, he is probably quite valuable for those that want something from the president.

Supposedly they did not speak of the stormy payment and Michael Cohen paid for it out of his own pocket. But why?

To protect his client. If Trump knew about the NDA, his campaign staff and campaign lawyers would have known that an NDA payment could likely violate FEC laws. In order to facilitate the NDA and protect Trump from any FEC issue, he had to pay Stormy without Trump's knowledge and money.

I don't believe that Cohen didn't discuss this with Trump.

The reason they saying they didn't talk is due to the FEC violations that it might incur. Even with Cohen going rogue and paying this, it might be a FEC violation.

FEC violations are difficult cases to prove. I doubt Cohen gets charged for FEC violations, but only the SDNY knows for sure. I think its more likely that he gets charged if there are a ton of women that he orchestrated payoffs for. Avenatti says 6 other women have come forward. Who knows if their cases are legit though.
